Id: Don't suggest upgrading to brands from incompatible countries

Created on 10 Jun 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: openstreetmap/iD

iD say this node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2459170313 has outdated tags, and suggests the user updates them, however the changes made are incorrect.

iD adds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Hardware but the store is actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Timber_%26_Hardware

I checked name-suggestion-index but all the "Home Hardware"'s have a ca countryCode, so iD shouldn't be suggesting it from name-suggestion-index.

Oh yeah, I thought I saw this before - you are right.
FWIW I just upgraded the NSI matcher today to allow it to consider countryCode.
We'll probably release a patch to iD in the next week or so.

Conversely, I recently made good use this "bug". I used the Brazilian preset for a Brazilian bank with branches in Japan, and the only thing I needed was to add a Japanese translation of its name.

I think this can be useful for multinational companies.

The correct way to deal with this is in name-suggestion-index, to either widen the supported county codes, or add a new entry for each country which usually means changing name to the local language.
